Clive Berkley

"Even a good-for-nothing like me once had something to protect."

Clive, partner to Mel, one of the Fairy Brides, moonlights as an instructor at the academy. He's a key player in the Holy Church and second-in-command of the Mage Order. Despite these lofty credentials, Clive comes across as a diamond in the rough - a bit rough around the edges and not always reliable, but with a charm that wins people over.

Yet there's more to Clive than meets the eye. Behind this unassuming facade lies a tactical genius known as the "Clever General." While his magical abilities are nothing to write home about, leaving him a mediocre mage at best, Clive's true talent shines on the battlefield. There, he orchestrates victory through a masterful blend of unconventional strategies, weaving intricate tactical tapestries that often leave his adversaries outmaneuvered.
